So Ive started this seed not really knowing much about growing or plants in general with a 15W growlight LED (yep its all blue an red light :/ ).The strain is either white russian or critical something..
Ive noticed a slight discoloration of it's first true leaves even before the second set of true leaves came through. The second set looked good tho so I was thinking 'maybe it was just too close to the light or it's too hot' but now that the 2nd set of leaves is even bigger than the first and it's growing another set or 2 at the same time it turns out the 2nd set develops the same symptoms the first one did. This seems to go to the extent that the tips of the leaves just go pure white under the LED and seem to look yellow with ever so slight brown edges under normal light.
To be honest I probably messed this poor thing up a bunch in many different ways already. It was probably way closer to the light as it should have been (cuz I was thinking 'shitty light+ almost no heat emission=better be as close as possible) from day 1 . I downloaded a LUX meter app a couple of days ago and readjusted it to be at just around 5000LUX now. I might have watered it a little more than I should have as well - now Im weighing the lil thing after I water about 30% of soil volume and see run-off and wait until it gets back to 60% of that weight then water again . Even with temperatures Im not really sure. Ive read it should be between 20-25C a bunch so thats what I did at first but then Ive read that growroom temperatures can be quite a bit higher so now Im having it between 25-28C. For soil I just went to a gardening center and got potting soil . Got some perlite now as well and a bigger pot in case I need to transplant it to a bigger pot sometime soon. I didnt really get to test the water Im feeding yet but it's R.O water (cuz thats what I drink..). Ive been using a room fan on swing to provide moving air but how do I now what the right setting would be for that so it was probably too strong or too light as well .
Anyways Ive got a better setup coming in for it soon but Im still very curious as to what it's missing or what caused the 'damage' in the first place (partly to educate myself and partly so I dont hurt this poor thing any further). I have a cal/mg sub and a general fertilizer that says 'NPK .4/.4/.4' on it but havent used any of it yet. I could get nutes from the gardening center . They have B1-B4 (with B4 being for orchids it says) nutes there.
Im adding pics under different lighting in different stages so you can make yourself a better picture. Plant is pretty much exactly 2 weeks old in the latest pics.
Thank you in advance for reading through my mess and trying to help.
